Grade 8 Visual Arts - Three A Day | Australian Homeschool Curriculum

$60.00

Visual Arts – Grade 8: Through the Lens is a practical, photography-based Visual Arts curriculum designed around the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0 Grade 8 Visual Arts content descriptors. Students explore how artists use composition, viewpoint, light, colour, texture, shape, portraiture, editing and visual storytelling to communicate ideas and meaning.

Rather than approaching Visual Arts through traditional drawing and painting, this unit uses photography as the main creative medium, making it accessible with either a camera or smartphone. Students learn through engaging teaching chapters, practical photography challenges, artist investigations, journal reflections and guided creative activities before bringing their learning together in the major project.

Throughout the course, students investigate photographers including Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Cindy Sherman, while developing an understanding of artistic practice, ethical photography, copyright, attribution, respectful representation and First Nations Australian artists. The major project guides students step-by-step from developing an idea and researching artists through experimentation, shooting, critique, refinement, curation and presentation of a cohesive 8–12 image photographic series.

With assessment rubrics, portfolio guidance, glossary pages and curriculum alignment included, Through the Lens provides a complete and creative approach to Year 8 Visual Arts for homeschool students.
